This week went pretty great!!! the people are so nice here. its was my birthday on saturday the whole day like changed a bunch. 

first i went on an intercambio (i dont know the word in english haha but it is when you go with another missionary not your compañero haha) and he is from mississippi but you wouldnt guess it cause he doesnt act or doing anything like he is from the south but he is still really funny and we were laughing like the whole day and for some reason i felt like my spanish like doubled and we were speaking english the whole day (except to our investigadores) so that was a huge b day present.  after that i had no idea but a less active lady thru me a big party with a cake and everything and im pretty sure we only like told her it was my birthday like one time in passing like a few days before.  so that was a way good way to end the day haha.  and the sunday after a recent convert made me another cake and in the morning the missionarys i live with got me a cake too haha so our fridge is full of cake. 

plus there was a red moon on sunday and im just gunna count that as a bday present too!

my sector is pretty messed up and there is drugs everywhere and the teens are just doing them in the middle of the street and dont even try to hide them any more and then they want to talk to us and give them a pamphlet which im pretty sure they just roll up doobies with the paper but it is actually pretty funny to hear them cause they say the randomest crap haha
 
also it rained for the first time on my birthday so that was something new.  you would think the rain would be a good thing cause it is so hot all week but it actually just stays hot and gets to be like 300% humidity but i liked it cause it was new.

we went to a papa johns today cause one of the elders in my house is going home in a week and today is his last p day.  all the latinos think its wierd that we call it papa johns in the us cause papa is a spanish word so that was kinda funny

the lady that thru me a party took probably 1300 pics so i will have to get a few and send them later
